520    Examines how schools at every level fail girls and offers 
       a solution to what must be done to serve children better. 
520    Failing at Fairness is a powerful indictment of sexism in 
       America's classrooms. The findings from twenty years of 
       research by two of America's most distinguished social 
       scientists show that gender bias in our schools makes it 
       impossible for girls to receive an education equal to 
       boys'. Girls are systematically denied opportunities in 
       areas where boys are encouraged to excel, often by well-
       meaning teachers who are unaware that they are 
       transmitting sexist values. Girls are taught to speak 
       quietly, to defer to boys, to avoid math and science, and 
       to value neatness over innovation, appearance over 
       intelligence. In the early grades girls, brimming with 
       intelligence and potential, routinely outperform boys on 
       achievement tests, but by the time they graduate from high
       school they lag far behind boys - a process of 
       degeneration that continues into adulthood. By the time 
       girls enter the working world, the damage has been done. 
       Our daughters, tomorrow's women, learn that to be female 
       is to be passive and deferential: We have, effectively, 
       made girls second-class citizens in a world whose survival
       will depend on their contributions. The implications are 
       devastating: If the cure for cancer is incubating in the 
       mind of one of our daughters, we may never find it. 
       Professors Myra and David Sadker have produced a 
       comprehensive, compelling, and essential resource.
